"Fairy tail started out as the nickname for two extremely good friends; Lucy Heartfilia and Mavis Vermillion. Otherwise known as the lady of life and the dame of light.

Mavis created this world, but her only problem was that she was completely alone, then one day this young lady appeared. And her name was Lucy Heartfilia. The two soon became quick friends and just like Mavis, Lucy discovered she could do the impossible. She could create life. And so she did, she created many people and animals but there was a problem. They were born without faces or names-" Jellal began. "Weirdest part is that they can talk and see and everything. Freaky, right?" Cana added with a grin.

"Thank you for that insightful piece of information, now could I please get back to my story Cana?" Jellal asked as Cana just shot him a thumbs up and took another swing from her barrel. "So after that things were a lot better, although it still got lonely sometimes, at least they weren't alone anymore. Then one day everything changed, a new guy wandered in, and his name was Zeref. He had the power of darkness, and was nicknamed the black wizard. Mavis and Lucy accepted him pretty quickly, and soon all three of them were good friends. Although, Mavis and Zeref were a bit more than just friends.

Over time more people appeared, such as myself and everyone else here, and we too were quickly accepted by them. It wasn't too long before we all became one big, happy family like the one you see here.

Unfortunately though, our happy days were not meant to last. It all started with the news of Zeref's and Mavis's engagement. We were all so happy about that, Lucy most of all. Then Lucy fell sick, and everything went downhill. Her sickness caused the deaths of hundreds and she didn't seem to be getting any better.

So like the best friend she was, Mavis used her powers to save her. And it worked, Lucy got better, but Mavis, Mavis never recovered from that. She used up the last of her powers saving Lucy and it ended up costing her too much. She almost died, and the only way we could save her was by sealing her body in a Lacrima crystal-".

"A Lacrima crystal?" Natsu asked. "There are lots of types of Lacrima crystals, but the one we used was able to preserve her body and kept her comatose." Cana answered.

"Back to the story, after that Zeref wasn't the same, he ruled over the land with an iron fist, he blamed Lucy for what had happened to Mavis and all of his efforts were spent towards figuring out how to bring her back. Lucy on the other hand was opposed to what Zeref had done and repeatedly fought against him and his new laws. In the end, Zeref ended up killing her. That's why we created Fairy Tail, to take revenge on Zeref for killing Lucy, save Mavis if we can, and stop Zeref's reign of terror." Jellal concluded.

"So" Cana asked, "are you in?"

"Definitely."
